The Aerochamber is used to help deliver your inhalers medication more effectively. It will only work when you follow these directions carefully.
AeroChamber® (without mask)
- Remove the caps from the inhaler and AeroChamber® and shake the inhaler to mix the contents.

- Inhale slowly and deeply through your mouth.
- Hold your breath and remove the AeroChamber® from your mouth.
- Hold your breath for 5-10 seconds or as long as you can.
